Hello, my name is Erica Payne, and I am a stay-at-home mom of two girls, ages 6 and 2. I live in St. Louis, MO, and have been majorly impacted by the May 16th tornado. We are currently awaiting repairs from the tornado damage and are expected to temporarily relocate for the next 4 weeks. That is a real challenge because since the tornado, our income has decreased significantly, and we have been struggling to make ends meet. I have been desperately trying to find a job. I have been rejected more times than I can count. I am trying to maintain my faith and strength, but it is hard. Every month looks more bleak than the last. We need help to cover our bills as well as the basic needs of our girls. As you know, Christmas is right around the corner, and we want to be able to make it special for our girls, but we are unsure if we will be able to due to our circumstances. If you could make a small donation of $5 to help us work toward our goal, it would be greatly appreciated.
